We meant to ask you last week, “Did you party like it was 1999?” Prince capitalized on the 2K compliance movement earlier with that smash hit, but it did make us wonder… What were the top songs from 1999?
1. “Believe” Cher
2. “No Scrubs” TLC
3. “Angel of Mine” Monica
4. “Heartbreak Hotel” Whitney Houston
5. “Baby One More Time” Britney Spears
6. “Kiss Me” Sixpence None The Richer
7. “Genie In a Bottle” Christina Aguilera
8. “Livin’ la Vida Loca” Ricky Martin
9. “I Want It That Way” Backstreet Boys
Conclusions: Three one hit wonders were listed above, while tragedy would take a few of these stars away from us. Whitney would die due to a drug overdose, Lisa ‘Left eye’ Lopes (TLC) lost her life in a jeep accident, and Lou Pearlman the creator and manager of the Backstreet Boys, would be convicted of high crimes and die in prison in 2016.
